Upchurch v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2004] NZACC 290
- Court
- District Court
The appeal is dismissed because the preponderance of medical evidence establishes the appellant’s ongoing back pain is attributable to overall degenerative change and not causally connected (wholly or substantially) to the January 1997 accident, so ACC’s decision to decline ongoing weekly compensation was correct.
